Edwards Tips – Full Review
Edwards Tips is a combined golf and snooker service where you can subscribe to either or both sets of tips.
It is run by Craig Edwards, an ex-pro snooker player turned sports betting tipster. He reached the first round of the 1991 World Snooker Championship and the last 16 of the European Open, so knows his way around the baize.
That seems to have translated into a promising career as a tipster and Craig uses his in-depth knowledge of the game and players to find an edge over the markets. He also has a passion for golf betting and uses his expertise and a qualitative approach to produce his selections.
We had been following the tips in a personal capacity for a while and had been impressed with the results so decided to start a proper review here on the site last year.
That review has lasted a full 12 months, which has given us a very substantial sample of over 1200 bets.
We are pleased to say that at the end of that extensive trial, things have gone very well indeed and Craig finished with a profit of 40 points in the end.
As mentioned numerous times during our trial however, the staking with this service is very low. The average stake during our trial was just 0.15 points. So it might be reasonable to times the stakes by 10 to get them on par with most services we review here.
On that basis the profit so far would actually be a very impressive 400 points.
It is worth breaking that down by sport though, as there was a considerable difference in the results:
| Sport |
P/L |
ROI |
Strike Rate |
| Golf |
+41 points |
21% |
12% |
| Snooker |
-1 point |
-1% |
30% |
As you can see, it is actually the golf that made up all of the profit during our trial.
That has not always been the case historically though and prior to our trial, the snooker tips had made 150 points profit in total since Craig started tipping.
So it may have just been a dip during the last 12 months and the snooker tips may become profitable again, but is probably something just to keep an eye on for the moment.
In terms of the golf tips, it is also instructive to split them up into two separate categories, the outright tips and place tips (e.g. top 20, top 10 etc):
| Category |
P/L |
ROI |
Strike Rate |
| Golf outright |
+24 points |
18% |
9% |
| Golf place |
+17 points |
27% |
18% |
So pretty consistent across the two types of bet with the outright tips having made more profit but the place tips having better metrics. If you have the time (and bank) to follow both then it is worth doing so to maximise your profits and have some diversity.
Overall then we have been very impressed with Edwards Tips during our 12 month trial. The golf tips really excelled and had some top class winners at prices of over 100/1.
Craig is very helpful and always answers questions which is good to see too.
There was the occasional issue with obtaining prices, which we deal with further below, but all in all it was a very successful trial and we are more than happy to award it a PASSED rating.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: The selections are sent by e-mail and come out sporadically, starting on Monday for that week’s golf events. That can make it a little tricky to follow as there are lots of tips coming out at various times of day rather than having a single e-mail with the tips. However, Craig does it this way to take advantage of early prices.
Availability of prices: In terms of prices, sometimes it can be difficult to obtain the advised prices as quite a lot of the tips are sent out on Mondays when the markets are quite thin and there are only one or two bookies (usually B365) with odds.
However, there are always exchanges to use where you can usually get the win odds if you are okay with slightly worse place terms.
Overall we didn’t see this affecting the results too much, but was just an occasional issue where a price had gone by the time we got to put a bet on. You should be able to get close to the official results with a few bookie accounts and use of the exchanges in any event.
Strike rate: The strike rate varied quite a bit by the type of tip, with the golf outright being fairly low at 9% but the snooker being higher at 30%.
Advised Betting Bank: Craig recommends a 100 point bank for following the service, which for once we would say is actually very conservative compared to many tipsters who use banks that are far too risky.
He reduced his staking during covid to be on the safe side as form became a little unpredictable, but doesn’t seem to have put it back up again since. Therefore putting say 0.1pt e/w on a golf selection from a 100 point bank is a very small stake.
We do think there’s an argument for making the stakes more uniform with other services at standard 1pt e/w etc – and then maybe having something like a 200 point bank. At the same time we appreciate Craig may not want to do so as it could mess up his results given the smaller staking he has used up until now.
Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are very reasonable given the results achieved, at £34.99 per month for both services or £19.99 per month for either the golf or snooker.
OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED
Edwards Tips is a golf and snooker tipping service from a former snooker pro, Craig Edwards. We ran an extended 12 month trial and the tips performed excellently, making 40 points profit.
The staking is very small at just 0.15 on average per selection, so to make it comparable with most services we review, you could times those stakes by 10 and the profit would then be 400 points.
That profit was made entirely by the golf tips during our trial however, as the snooker tips finished marginally down.
Overall though it was a superb trial and we are very happy to award Edwards Tips a PASSED rating.

We saw some of them in action at the World Championships for example, where Craig made a commendable 30 points profit over the event (including qualifiers).

Here’s to more of that in 2022!

There have been a few placed finishes since our last update but no big winners, although they were very close to a 50/1 winner with Adri Arnaus at the Open de Espana last week who missed a short putt for the win and then lost in a playoff.
That was pretty unlucky to say the least but that is golf betting for you. Very small margins are involved, but the luck tends to balance out in the long run (or so they say!).

Edwards Tips – New Review
7th August 2021
We are starting a new trial today of a service called Edwards Tips.
This is a combined golf and snooker service where you can subscribe to either or both sets of tips.
It is run by Craig Edwards, an ex-pro snooker player turned sports betting tipster. He reached the first round of the 1991 World Snooker Championship and the last 16 of the European Open, so knows his way around the baize.
That seems to have translated into a promising career as a tipster and Craig uses his in-depth knowledge of the game and players to find an edge over the markets. He also has a passion for golf betting and uses his expertise and a qualitative approach to produce his selections.
The results published on Craig’s website are excellent, with 746 points profit made at a return on investment of over 30%.
That includes some massive winners at prices of up to 250/1.
The breakdown in profit by sport is that the golf tips have contributed 610 points profit whilst the snooker has provided 143 points profit.
We followed the service in a personal capacity last year and can vouch that the results on the website for last year are accurate.
Craig tips in a variety of markets, including top 20 and outright on the golf, and match odds, player centuries, handicaps and other markets on the snooker.
The main snooker season is just about to get underway so it’s a good time to start a review from that point of view.
We will of course update results here as we along.
In the meantime you can check out Edwards Tips for yourself here.
